A motor-driven fuel pump including a brushless motor; a motor housing for enclosing the brushless motor; and a pump section adapted to be driven by the brushless motor for sucking a fuel and pumping the same into the motor housing. The brushless motor includes a stator fixed to an inner circumference of the motor housing; a rotor assembly adapted to be rotated by supplying current to the stator, which rotor assembly includes a motor shaft, a rotor mounted to the motor shaft a rotor cover mounted to one end of the rotor magnet on the side of the pump section, a timing rotor mounted to the other end of the rotor magnet, and a sensor magnet mounted to an end of the timing rotor on the side opposite to the rotor magnet; an end cover mounted at an inlet end of the brushless motor; a motor shaft bearing mounted in the end cover for rotatably supporting the motor shaft; and a timing rotor bearing interposed between an outer circumference of the timing rotor and the inner circumference of the motor housing for rotatably supporting the timing rotor.

Motor-driven fuel pump

A fuel pump including a housing; a motor section provided in the housing which motor section includes an armature and a magnet opposed to the armature with a substantially annular space defined therebetween as a fuel passage, which armature includes a core formed by stacking a plurality of plates and a coil wound around the core; a pump section fixed to a lower end of the housing and connected to the motor section to be driven thereby; a fuel inlet formed in the pump section for sucking a fuel by driving the motor section; a fuel outlet formed at an upper end of the fuel pump for discharging the fuel fed from the fuel inlet through the fuel passage; and a first resin portion impregnated in the core and the coil for suppressing vibration of the armature. The fuel pump having the above construction preferably further includes a second resin portion coated on a surface of at least the first resin portion, which second resin portion has a resistance against the fuel and no influence upon the fuel.

Fuel pump

An electromagnetic fuel injector comprising a valve body composed of a spherical valve member and a hollow cylindrical slide member which is adapted to slide along a guide hole and the interior of which is a fuel passage. The slide member is provided with openings for passing liquid fuel therethrough at its peripheral wall. A circumferential clearance ranging from 4 to 30 .mu. is provided between the outer surface of the slide member and the inner surface of the guide hole. At least one of the valve member and the slide member which members constitute the valve body is formed of titanium, titanium alloy, ceramic or ferric material. With this arrangement, the slide member may be fabricated without a strictly high accuracy and the mass of the valve body may be reduced, thus increasing the response characteristics of the valve body to the on-off operation of an exciting coil.
